Abstract

The present invention provides a shoe including a sole and an upper. The upper includes two decorated portions, each of which includes a base layer and a plurality of decorated layers stacked on the base layer. Each of the decorated layers has a fixed section connected to the base layer and a free section to be cut off to expose the predetermined decorated layers, such that the aspect of the shoe change because the different exposing decorated layers.

Description

  • The present invention relates generally to a shoe, and more particularly to a shoe that may change aspect.
  • The designer provides various color, pattern, decorated members or other member to shoes that makes the shoes having different aspects.

    According to the objectives of the present invention, a shoe includes a sole and an upper. The upper includes a plurality of decorated portions, each of which includes a base layer and a plurality of decorated layers stacked on the base layer, and each of the decorated layers has at least a fixed section connected to the base layer and at least a free section to be cut off to expose the predetermined decorated layers.
    • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention;
    • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing the outer decorated layer being cut.
    • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, showing the outer decorated layer being removed.
    • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention; and
    • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a third preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • As shown in FIG. 1, a shoe 10 of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a sole 10 and an upper 14.
    The upper 14 has two decorated portions 22 at opposite sides, each of which includes a base layer 24 and a plurality of decorated layers 26, 28, 30 and 32. The base layer 24 is connected to the sole 12. The decorated layers 26~32 are fabrics or leathers with different colors and patterns stacked on the base layer 24 in sequence. The decorated layers 26~32 are sewn to the base layer 24. Each of the decorated layers 26~32 has a fixed section 34 at the sewing portion and a free section 36 at the portion not sewn. The free sections 36 of the decorated layers 26~32 keep a suitable distance from an edge of the base layer 24. The predetermined parts of the free sections 36 of the decorated layers 26~32 are exposed by removing the predetermined parts of the free sections 36 of the outer decorated layers 26~30. The exposed free sections 36 of the decorated layers 26~32 has different pattern or different materials that makes the shoe with a multilayer visual aspect.
    When user worn the shoes 10 of the present invention for a time, and he/she are getting tire of the aspects, he/she can cut the outer decorated layer 32 off along the dot line shown in FIG. 2. As a result, the decorated layer 30 is exposed to show different pattern and color and gives the shoe 10 a different aspect, as shown in FIG. 3.
    The decorated layers 26~30 may be made of fluorescence material (or just coating fluorescence coating on the surface) or waterproof material.
    FIG. 4 shows the decorated layers 26~30 having the free sections 36 with multilayer arched aspects.
    FIG. 5 shows a shoe 40 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is similar to the shoe 10 of the first preferred embodiment, except that the shoe 40 have decorated layers 42, 44, 46 and 48, each of which has two fixed sections 50 and two free sections 52. The shoe 40 of the second preferred embodiment has varied patterns to cut the decorated layers 42~48 that gives the shoe 40 more aspects.
    The shoe of the present invention gives user a chance to cut the decorated layers off as he/she wants that may change the shoe's aspect. The decorated layers are sewn on the base layer that the decorated layers will not drop when user is walking.
    The description above is a few preferred embodiments of the present invention and the equivalence of the present invention is still in the scope of the claim of the present invention.
